Safe Zone
Safe Zone is a program for people who wish to help others with diversity issues. First you have to attend a training session given by the Housing and Residence Life Multicultural Committee at Ball State. Then, those who become Safe Zone certified receive a placard to be displayed on their door that recognizes them as a trustworthy person and an ally to the GLBT Community. This is a great training program for hall directors, RA's, professors, or anyone who deals with students on a regular basis. If you wish to receive the training, contact any of our executive members for more information.
